DELL 2005FPW $334

I ordered mine today for $415 shipped after taxes, was only able to get a $45 off coupon (too late on the $100off). Estimated ship date is Dec 6 🙁. They are probably so backed up on the $334 deal.

My estimated ship date was Dec 2nd, but they shipped it today. :thumbsup:

So keep checking your order status.

My next post says "supposed" mistake. If so, I think it is lame for people to try to jump on a mistake. My opinion. I already have a 2005FPW and it is ok. Really just an extra wide 17" monitor which is too short for my desires.

I look for Hot Deals, not hot scams.. I was a weasel when I was young. I stole a lot of credit cards, a lot of cars, and a lot of drugs - all for fun. I never really paid for it either. Still I want to let people know that exploiting others' stupidity ain't a cool thing. It doesn't make you smart and it doesn't make you thrifty. You aren't special because of this. When you show off your savings at another's expense nobody really cares, and in fact they just think you are a dork for it.. I know who thieves are and they aren't cool. Let's try to be cool folks. Don't rip others off.

Oh, $224 is a great price on this, but I want a 19" with no AR and/or a 24".. My 2005FPW will be my den's monitor..

1st, you dont know wheather this was mistake or not. someone said this deal ended cuz dell found out that coupons were stacking even though they were not suppose to stack. but it could have ended cuz the coupon code was limited use coupon.

2nd, since when did consumer care so much them exploiting vendors? if you're one of those, y r u here @ hot deals forum? dont you think some of the deals are based on such "exploitation".

3rd, who said dell is losing money selling these at ~$334?

You jus sound like a sore loser who was too slow to act and missed out on the deal

Sounds like you might still be on some drugs if you are comparing stealing CC's and cars to purchasing monitors from a company using coupons produced and published by that company....

yikes....

LOL! well put, this was exactly wat I was gonna say
 
Just to let you know, if your monitor is still in earlier stages b4 getting shipped out...

I order mine on Monday late at night. Got the confirmation right away but until Tuesday 5:00 pm it was still in "pre-production" phase. I came back couple hours later and it was at the shipping phase. So dont lose hope. It only took couple of hours to go through 3-4 phases to shipping phase.

Same here... Order on Cyber Monday night. Been in production since, with same estimated ship date, Dec 2nd. Finally shipped this evening. BIG:thumbsup:

So excited!
Now we do the dance of joy!

Hope no defects or stuck pixels. *No whammy!* *No whammy!*
 
i ordered monday night and had an estimated ship date of dec 5th. been stuck in production until this evening.... just checked again and it shipped!!
 
So I missed the deal. 🙁
Didn't find out about it until this morning and ti would take the coupon.

Anybody getting rid of their old LCD??? I'm still in the market for one. 🙂 Just PM with what you have.
 
Got one, it's in transit. Total, $365 or so shipped to Cali.

If I decide not to keep it, and anyone in the LA area wants to come pick it up, I'm not looking to make a huge killing on it. I'd probably let it go relatively cheaply.

Thanks to the OP!

In other words, you folks who knew it was a mistake exploited this error at someone else's cost. I hope your monitors fail 1 day after the warranty expires..

Hello,

I'm sorry to be bothersome, but from one Anandtecher to another - "Congrats on getting in on the LCD deal!" I just wanted to ask you how it was possible to apply a $100 dollar off $500 coupon with the price (after 25% discount being sub-$500). I tried calling a Dell representative, but the cheapest price they good give me was $431.67 shipped. Please help.

Thanks for your time and patience

You suck.

Next time, read the thread, plus countless others on other hot deals forums. You'll see that it was a mistake, but some of us are (hopefully) getting in on it. ITS TOO LATE.

Calling = #1 no-no of this stuff. You're calling to see if something that's not supposed to work will work? So they can flag the system and prevent anyone's orders coming through?

quoted because you made me laugh. at you.
 
Damn that was fast.... I never even got the tracking number and before I know it. Ding Dong.... UPS is at my door with my new 2005fpw tonight. Order Monday Night, here on Thurs with Free shipping. Now that's a smoking deal!!!

No backlight bleeding, no dead pixels... must just be a bunch of compainers out there..... :>)

I could have got a 21" HP with my EPP discount but it was still over $500. This is one nice monitor.....

Thanks again guys! Glad I jumped on this......
 
What revisions have you guys been getting? Check the white sticker on the back of the panel (the one that lists the model and serial #)

Mine got to my house this morning by fedex. Just got home from work and set it up . Seems fine to me. No dead pixels as fas I can tell.
How can I check for backlight bleeding ? Theres too much light in the room so id have to check later tonight.

*edit* I think I have backlight bleeding. I noticed when the screensaver was on and its mostly black theres light coming from the bottom part of the screen.
